Comments:

this went by really quick. It was uber crowded and lots of weaving around. I also got hit in the face by elbows by really tall guys a few times.
Tom worked today so it was just me. It was sorta nice being by myself and not having to worry about anyone else. Tom hates driving in downtown and can't find anythign in front of him. I found the parking garage right off the Crosstown- easy peasy. Totally stress free morning except for not being able to find baggage dropoff before the race and forgetting my water bottle.
What would you do differently?:

nothin.

Warm down:

walked to convention center, got my bag, went to bathroom, got a massage. Massage was HEAVENLY by a big black dude named Shawn from Clearwater. First time a big black dude ever got near my girlie parts. heh. Then I went home to do the mommy thing. Had to pick up kids and drive them around of course. Took a nap, didn't feel like going out so I made some spaghetti for dinner, watched some TV and went to bed.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

crowds.
